More Pogo Dumbfuck, it's gotta be separatists!
"Separatism is separatism. It's always about territory and autonomy. Nobody ever characterized the IRA as "Christian terrorists".
"Here's a page on Separatist/Secessionist movements in Europe, way too many to count in over 20 countries.
Here's a map of those movements in Spain alone (from that page)...
Catalonia would be the lighter green on the right including Majorca. And Barcelona.
The Basques would be the darker green extending into France.
The yellow in the far left would be GalÃcia. It's marked by the same mountain range that separates Spain and Portugal, hence the language thing.
These have been going on far FAR longer than anything contemporary. Yet vacuums like the OP just stick their fingers in their historical ears and go "Moooooooslims!"
